Malek spills on cringe-worthy snub

RAMI Malek has addressed his awkward moment on stage with Nicole Kidman at the Golden Globes, admitting it's "haunting" him.

Earlier this week, eagle-eyed fans were quick to spot an uncomfortable stage moment in which Malek, following his win for Best Actor and during the acceptance for his film Bohemian Rhapsody, tried to get Kidman's attention to absolutely no avail.

Millions of people witnessed the awkward encounter.

He first tried to speak to the 51-year-old star, but she simply didn't notice him. He then placed a hand on the small of her back, but the commotion on stage as the cast of the film took the stage clearly distracted her beyond measure.

While it didn't seem to be a malicious moment from Kidman, fans on social media noticed the cringe-worthy moment, which spread like wildfire online.
